Why do we even have a White House press briefing? Sarah Huckabee Sanders standard reply to any question is; “I don’t know,” “The president hasn’t said,” “You will have to ask him,” “You will have to ask the attorneys.” Or “I will have to get back to you.” What is the point of having a press secretary that doesn’t have any news, any answers, and never gets back to you?
Two people you should never trust: A religious leader who tells you how to vote, and a politician who tells you how to pray.
President Trump is headed for another campaign rally in Indiana on Thursday. This is really unprecedented behavior for a sitting president this early in his term. But he claims that he has no time to sit for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Less campaign rallies and a little less golf maybe.
Of course parents should have a choice. But public money is for public schools. Private money is for private schools. Teachers are underpaid and schools are in disrepair. The last thing we need is private schools getting into the public money.
Republicans are constantly criticizing the poor people. Insinuating that just because they are poor, that they are lazy and don’t want to work. But the GOP keeps moving the goal post. They make everything harder for them. They make it harder for them to find work, get help with food stamps, child care and healthcare. The GOP is blinded by their greed and hypocrisy to understand their cruelty.
What is Trump’s favorite game? It’s pin the blame on the donkey.
Rudy Guiliani is like the crazy drunk uncle who always starts making family announcements while being completely out of the loop.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has resigned after four women accused him of physical abuse. Our president is still in office after at least 19 women have accused him of sexual misconduct.
Every time federal officials test a new area in Northwest Indiana, they find staggering levels of brain-damaging lead in the soil. So then, why would the EPA want to dismantle their regulations that are in place to do this important testing? Afraid of what they will find?
The NRA claims to be concerned with law and order, yet they picked Oliver North as their new leader. He had his own concealed carry permit revoked because he was “not of good character.” You can’t make this stuff up.
When I got that little note in my February paycheck about the jump in my paycheck being from the Trump tax cuts, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I couldn’t swing a new car like some of my fellow workers but I did manage to go out and buy me a brand new Bad Boy Outlaw XP zero-turn mower with a 61-inch deck and Kawasaki engine. I’m in donkey heaven. Thanks Donald!
